HOSE AS 1Q1494 - Caterpillar

Illustration 1 g02137969
Fully retract the stick cylinder rod. Adjust the position of the bucket so that the bucket is parallel to the ground. Lower the boom until the bucket is flat on the ground. Refer to Illustration 1.
Release the system pressure from the implement and swing hydraulic circuits.
Shut off the engine.Note: Perform Step 3.b through Step 3.d immediately after the engine is shut off to insure adequate pilot system pressure is available to release the pressure in the hydraulic circuits.
Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.
Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.
Illustration 2 g03315377
Move both joysticks in a circular motion to the FULL STROKE positions multiple times until the pilot accumulator has been exhausted.Note: Pilot pressure is required to relieve hydraulic system pressure.
Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
Start the engine to recharge pilot accumulator.Note: Do not activate any levers when recharging pilot accumulator.
Shut off the engine.
Repeat Step 3.b through Step 3.g until the high-pressure lines have been released.Each time the accumulator is recharged, start the joysticks at different positions or rotate in the reverse direction. Doing so will ensure that the same circuit is not being relieved each time.Note: Pressure could build on these circuits after pressure is released due to linkage settling or bucket rolling.Note: To release pressure in a single circuit, move the joysticks or pedals of the hydraulic circuit that requires service to the full stroke positions after moving joysticks in a circular motion. Moving the joysticks or pedals to the full stroke position will release the high pressure only in that single hydraulic circuit. Moving the joysticks or pedals to the full stroke position will also release any pressure that might be present in the pilot hydraulic circuit.
Release hydraulic system pressure in the attachment circuits, if equipped.
Start the engine to charge pilot accumulator.
Shut off the engine.Note: Perform Step 4.c through Step 4.e immediately after the engine is shut off to insure adequate pilot system pressure is available to release the pressure in the hydraulic circuits.
Turn the engine start switch to the ON position without starting the engine.
Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the UNLOCKED position.
Activate the switch or pedal for the attachment circuit.
Place the hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
Repeat Step 4.a through Step 4.f for each attachment circuit.
After releasing the hydraulic pressure in each of the desired hydraulic circuits, place the hydraulic activation control lever in the LOCKED position.
Turn the engine start switch to the OFF position.

Filler cap
(A) LOCK position
(B) PRESSURE RELEASE - START position
(C) PRESSURE RELEASE - END position
(D) OPEN position
Release the pressure that may be present in the return hydraulic circuit with the following procedure. Refer to Illustration 3 for filler cap positions.
Turn the filler cap counterclockwise and move the arrow from position (A) to position (B).
Release the pressure for a minimum of 45 seconds by moving the arrow from position (B) to position (C).
Push the filler cap down and move the arrow from position (C)
